"As I walked to my car after my personal
retreat with Christine, I realized that for the first time in
many months, I felt joy, possibility and promise about my life."
—Virginia, Attorney, Berkeley, CA

"Christine, you have been a lighthouse
in the storm, a divining rod in the desert, and a sanctuary for
my soul. You have contributed to me in a BIG way to help me arrive
where I am today and know where I am going."
—Nicole Ervin, Founder, Live Life Realized,
El Dorado Hills, CA

In life's major turning points,
great breakthroughs can occur by taking a personal intensive retreat with
a seasoned transformational guide. A
personal retreat can remove long-standing blocks and beliefs that have held
you back from your greatest power and potential, opening you to new paths of
freedom, vision, and personal fulfillment. In your Maui retreat with Christine, extraordinary breakthroughs can occur in a concentrated period of time. Outgrown
beliefs and patterns that have held you back from your greatest joy, unhealed
past experiences calling for resolution, careers or relationships that no longer
fulfill you, can all open doors for healing and transformation when positively
explored with Christine's experienced guidance and facilitation.

In your three day Personal Retreat with Christine:

You receive concentrated, caring, professionally supported time with a seasoned,
skillful guide to create a new life vision and a plan to enact it.

You reframe and clear unresolved past experiences and limiting beliefs
that hold back your magnificence.

"My personal retreat
with Christine was a life-changing event. While I am a successful
business woman in my 40's, I had been struggling for years
with a lack of fulfillment. I had tried counseling several
times, but always walked away with no change to my life's big
picture. After spending three-days with Christine, my world
opened up again. She helps me gain perspective and turn my
thoughts, fears, and even joys into action. She has tremendous
insight, compassion and sincerity and has taught me that I
already possess all I need to control my own destiny. My retreat
created an amazing bond, and I am grateful that Christine came into
my wonderful life!" -Becky, Senior Manager, Fortune 500 Software Company

does a mini-coaching with you on the spot so you can get to know how she
works. She shares about some of the teachings, experiential work, and skills
building she might guide you in to help you achieve your goals. The consult
